EMPLOYMENT LAW
Clear legal advice on employment rights, workplace disputes and termination of employment.
Employment problems can affect your income, career and professional reputation. Whether you are an employee, worker or employer, it is important to understand your legal position and the options available before deciding what to do next.
Rahim Ahmed Solicitors can provide clear and practical advice on a range of employment matters and help you understand the steps that may be available to resolve a workplace dispute.
DISMISSAL AND TERMINATION
Advice on dismissal, termination of employment, notice and the legal issues which may arise when employment ends.
PAY, HOLIDAY AND NOTICE
Advice on wages, holiday pay, notice pay and other payments arising from employment.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Employment law covers a wide range of issues which can arise during employment, when workplace relationships break down or when employment comes to an end.
DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE MATTERS
Advice on workplace disciplinary procedures, grievances, investigations and the steps available to employees and employers.
DISCRIMINATION AND WORKPLACE TREATMENT
Advice on workplace treatment and potential discrimination issues, including the options available where concerns arise.
REDUNDANCY
Advice on redundancy situations, consultation, selection and the rights and obligations which may arise.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMS
Advice on contractual terms, changes to employment arrangements and disputes concerning employment rights and obligations.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS
A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement which can be used to resolve an employment dispute or agree the terms upon which employment will end.
If you have been offered a settlement agreement, independent legal advice is normally required before relevant statutory employment claims can validly be waived.
We have a dedicated Settlement Agreements service where we can review the proposed agreement, explain its terms and effect and advise you before you decide whether to sign.
WHEN TO SEEK EMPLOYMENT LAW ADVICE
It is sensible to seek advice as early as possible where a workplace problem has arisen. The appropriate steps can depend on what has happened, whether an internal procedure is ongoing and whether employment has already ended.
Employment claims can also be subject to strict time limits. If you have been dismissed, have received a decision following a workplace process, have contacted ACAS or believe a Tribunal deadline may apply, please tell us immediately when making your enquiry.
OUR APPROACH
We aim to give clear and practical advice so that you understand your legal position, the available options and the potential risks before deciding how to proceed.
Where appropriate, we can advise on correspondence, negotiations, workplace procedures and the steps which may be available to resolve the dispute.
The precise scope of our work and the fees involved will be confirmed before you instruct us.
FEES
We will explain our charging arrangements and the scope of the work before you instruct us.
Where the matter involves a settlement agreement, your employer may offer to contribute towards the cost of obtaining independent legal advice.
